Does Rafael Nadal have any children?

Rafael Nadal does not have children, but has said that he loves the idea of becoming a father.

He did, however, suggest that it would be best to wait until the end of his sporting career so he can devote his full attention to his kids.

He commented: “I would love to have children: boys, girls… I’m a person who loves kids and I’m a family guy.

“But also I tell you that the reality is, the years keep passing, I would like to start to do all of this when my sporting life determines it.”

Mr Nadal added that his sporting career has made it difficult to think about having children so far, saying: “I think it’s also above all about looking after the kids.

“I don’t know if it [travelling throughout the year and having children] is ideal.”

Why is Xisca often absent from Nadal’s tennis matches?

In one of her only interviews, Xisca Perello revealed that she chooses not to attend most of Nadal’s tennis matches in a bid to preserve their relationship.

She added that she is concerned she would disrupt her fellow Spaniard’s focus if she appeared at all events.

In an interview with The Telegraph in 2011, Xisca explained: “He needs his space when he is competing, and just the idea of me hanging around and waiting on his needs all day tires me out.

“It would asphyxiate me. And then he would have to be worrying about me… No. If I followed him everywhere, I think there’s a risk we might stop getting along.”

However, she was a more frequent visitor at the 2020 Australian Open, and watched all of Nadal’s four-set win over Nick Kyrgios.

Does Xisca Perello use Twitter or Instagram?

Xisca Perello doesn’t have any public social media channels.

However, admiring fans have set up social media accounts to share pictures.

Xisca has previously spoken out about avoiding fame and celebrity status.

She explained: “It’s not a world I want to be part of, nor do I think Rafa would have chosen to be with a woman who looked for that in life.”
